### Mating Products

To find the correct mate, select the proper connector type, number of positions, and pitch along with other preferred specifications.

- Plugs only mate with receptacles or headers.
- Female sockets only mate with the correct number of male pins. Row count must also match - single-row connectors do not mate with dual or triple-row connectors.
- The connectors’ pitches must match. A 3.00mm pitch Superseal connector **will not** mate with a 3.50mm pitch Superseal connector even if all other specifications are correct.
- Pay attention to fastening type. “Latch Lock” and “Latch Holder” usually pairs with “Locking Ramp”, but occasionally TE will throw you a curveball.

### Contacts

- Loose piece packaging (bag, box, bulk) work with hand crimpers; tape packaging works with automated machines.
- Pin contacts only mate with socket contacts.
- Wire gauge must be correct to properly fit wire and meet crimp specifications.
- It is recommended that contacts intended to mate share the same contact finish - gold to gold, and tin to tin.
- Thicker contact finish thickness allows for more mating cycles and/or more protection in harsh environments. Thinner contact finish reduces price.

### Crimpers

To find the correct crimper, select the proper tool type and wire gauge, along with other preferred specifications.

- Verify the crimper is compatible with both your die set and compatible with the exact contact you are attempting to crimp.
- Wire gauge must be correct to meet proper crimp specifications.
- Select the proper die set for tools without integrated dies. These are typically located near the bottom of the crimper product page under the “For Use With” section.

### Insertion, Extraction Tools

- These work with all sizes & genders of Superseal contact.

### Accessories

Select the accessory type needed for use with your specific connector and application.

- Verify accessory compatibility with your specific connector as per the datasheet and documentation available
- Where applicable, position count must match the connector being accessorized.
